So basically I tend to build a gaming PC in the upcoming months. I have come up with a list of parts.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3lJoJ

I am curious if this build can play games like BF4, Skyrim, and Titanfall on MAX settings. I have considered the 780Ti but have read that the 770 will handle these games on ultra with a minimum 50 FPS. I would much rather save the money and go with the 770 but I am worried that if I buy it, it will perform poorly on these games
Resolution: 1080p
One monitor
PC designed MAINLY FOR GAMING, with some moderate school work
Let me know

You could easily save money going for 8GB of RAM and a 1TB HDD, and use that to get a 780 TI. That'd be a much more efficient use of money, seeing as no games actually need 16GB of RAM yet, and it's hard (for me) to fill even 1TB.

Tweaked, for a bit cheaper price, higher game performance, and Blu-ray compatibility.

if your going to buy the pc in a few months..the newer x9x chipset mb from intel and the intel haswell refresh will be dropping. also depending on intel newer brodwell cpu may drop end of this year or by april of next year. nvidia is having teething issues with the 20mm gpu from there foundry or the newer maxwell line would have been out. keep an eye out to see if nvidia drops maxwell on the older 28mm and then swap over latter in the year. on your ram dont buy 1333 speed you want 1866 or faster and low profile.

Or, like smorizio said, you could wait to see the new CPUs and GPUs that're supposed to release in a few weeks/months.
